F-18 installation from KDE Live USB stick

I've installed the Fedora-18 KDE Live CD on a USB stick,
and am able to boot my laptop from this.

But I find the "Install to Hard Disk" facility
greatly disimproved compared to F-17.

My main gripe is that there appears to be no way
to preserve the current disk partitioning.
The "Custom Install" option seems to have disappeared.

I have a spare partition on my Fedora-17/Windows disk,
and I want to install F-18 on that.
Is this no longer possible?
If not, why not?

I absolutely do not want to use the "Automatic Partioning"
which seems to be all I am offered.
Sorry, Mr Fedora, I have absolutely no idea
what you are going to do to my hard disk,
and I am not in the habit of "buying a pig in a poke".
